Abstract The structure of dimethanolbis(salicylaldehydato)cobalt(II) has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are monoclinic, space groupP21/c,a = 5.099(7),b = 19.446(9),c = 8.889(7) Å, β = 111.85(10) °, andZ = 2. The structure consists of discrete centro-symmetric molecules of C16H18CoO6 in which the oxygen atoms form a distorted octahedron about the cobalt atom, with cobalt-oxygen distances of 2.010(4), 2.076(4) Å (salicylaldehyde) and 2.115(4) Å (methanol). The molecules are linked together along thea-axis by intermolecular hydrogen bonds from the hydrogen atoms of the methanol groups to phenolic oxygen atoms of neighboring molecules. The final conventionalR-factor for 1232 observed reflections is 0.058.
